Nina woke up from the horror of the dream in a cold sweat.

Everything about the dream felt so real. She sat and shook recalling what had happened.
Nina turned her head frantically to look for John at her side. He wasn't there but where he lay was still warm.

Brian looked at the examination result and said, "We still can't find a problem but that doesn't mean everything is fine. After all, only she will know if her memory is slipping away. Our equipment can't find it out.
